Mostly Belles Filles. Another lime green tint. Here the bouquet is well defined with Pernand raciness, alongside some warmer fruit. The backbone is typical though, overall, the wine is much less austere than it would have been once upon a time. Drink from 2027-2029. Tasted Oct 2025."
Domaine Jean Chartron dates from 1859 and is now run by the 5th generation of the family, Jean-Michel looks after the winery whilst his sister Anne-Laure manages the vineyards. With 13 hectares, including Grand Cru’s and 1er Cru Monopole vineyards, they are an important vineyard proprietor in Puligny and have long been one of the high profile Domaines of the village. Jean-Michel and Anne-Laure are producing outstanding wines.

Jean-Michel Chartron had one of the longer 2024 harvests, starting on 13th September for crémant, and finishing as the rains were about to return on the 26th. Chaptalisation was necessary as he preferred to finish with classical degrees of 13% for village wines and either side of 13.5% for the 1ers and Grands Crus. When I tasted, the first three whites were in bottle, the rest racked to tank but neither fined nor filtered yet, trials coming up. The Grands Crus were still in barrel. All this is as usual in terms of elevage.

These wines are finally beginning to attract the respect they deserve. Chartron deftly bridges entry-level, affordable, more commercial cuvées with some of the most prized holdings in the Côte de Beaune, so there is something for everyone at this address.
